Is there a way to bring in a sketchup model into Revit and allow it to be manipulated?  I've brought sketchup models in before, but it comes in as a solid uneditable block.

NO, if you want to "manipulated" that model, you must do that in SK, what you can do is: "LINK" that file then if you need to change anything do it in SK, save the file (with the same name) then in Revit go to "Insert > Manage Link" select the CAD file and click on "Reload" and OK, your SK-model will change.

Thanks Typhoon.  What about applying materials?  I haven't been able to apply materials to an imported sketchup file in Revit.  Is there a way that I am unaware of?
